Plastic Desis

Saba Hameed has changed remarkably over the last decade. If you folks remember her from her early to mid ninties dramas, she had pronounced Melasma and ice pick scarring (due to acne in her youth) on both cheeks. Over the years, her skin has completely smoothed out and is even toned. My guess is that she underwent a combination of laser resurfacing and chemical peels to achieve the amazing results.. I haven’t been able to find high resolution pix of her youth but if someone does, please comment below with a link to the pix.

In my earlier post on Acne scars, I briefly discussed types of chemical peels. The question is what brand of peels are reliable? First of all DON”T ever let a dermatologist/Medical Aesthetician put an unbranded mixture on your face. They are STRONG chemicals and should only be from a reliable company. Here’s a list of brands that should also be available internationally:

1. Obagi . This company rose to fame with their signature ‘Blue Peel’. They have a variety of peels

2. Le Roche Posay: This company was recently acquired by Loreal and is available internationally.

3. Biomedic: Owned by Le Roche Posay, therefore now a part of Loreal. I’ve heard great things about  ’BiocMedic Micropeel’ especially for acne prone skin. (The peel has Salicylic acid which fights acne and removes scars).

4.  Skin Medica: This company is owned by world renowned dermatologist, Dr Richard Fitzpatrick. Their most famous peels are the ‘Illuminating Peel’ and the ‘Vitalize Peel’. I am not sure if this is available internationally.I got the Vitalize done two days ago. Read my progress here.

5. Procyte: Owned by the  parent company Photomedex which also manufactures lasers for aesthetic use.

6. Skinceuticals: This company has a large variety of professional use products such as Peels.
